Lucen took a step forward, he was once again relying on Acting Adept to keep himself calm and steady his breath as he spoke with a chilling tone.
"Kill those villagers, and I'll grant you a pain worse than death. So deep, you'll beg for Velmira's embrace."
Hearing Lucen's voice made some of the bandits and even Rugar himself feel threatened. The full force of Acting Adept was on display, with every subtle shift of his body, Lucen radiated the presence of a dark knight, vengeance sharpened by justice.
"But surrender now, and I'll grant you a warrior's death. Clean. Swift. Final."
As he was done talking, Lucen could not help but sigh in his mind. The way he was talking was something he copied from something he had seen, but for some reason, he was starting to believe that he was that kind of person.
'... Is Acting Adept eating away at my own personality?...' That thought suddenly came to mind, but he quickly shook it off, since it was no time to think about such things.
